Eleven years after the release of the National Arts Standards in 2014, the National Coalition for Arts Standards (NCAS) will launch a thorough survey to collect data on the National Standards for dance, media arts, music, theatre, and visual arts.
To best inform decision-making and to ensure transparency in the review, NCAS is asking arts educators, thought partners, education and arts organizations, and stakeholders with interests in arts education to provide critical feedback to guide the process.
Who is being asked to participate?
- Arts educators
- Education leaders
- Arts organizations
- Anyone passionate about arts education
NCAS says the National Arts Standards have played and continue to play an integral role in improving and supporting arts education for America's students, with nearly all states having revised the state’s arts education standards since 2014.
The public input survey can be completed anytime before May 16, 2025. NCAS says additional information and ways to be involved will be shared in the coming months.
